Creamy Pure Warming Tea

A short, strong shot of warmth for the few minutes you are soaked and freezing, like a night swim off a snowy coast. Not one for a long trek.

Overview

In-game description
A pure warming tea that temporarily increases both your core and minimum temperature. Enriched with cream for a stronger, shorter lived effect.

Your boat has drifted off the dock on a snowy coast, it is the middle of the night, and someone has to swim for it. That swim is the job for the creamy cup. Wet, dark and snowy is about as cold as the game gets, and it only lasts while you are in the water. The game text says this tea raises your core and minimum temperature for a while, and the cream makes it stronger and shorter lived.

  1. Walk down to the waterline with the tea on your hotbar.
  2. Drink it right there, not back at base.
  3. Swim straight out, climb in and steer back before the effect fades.

Timing is the whole trick. The stronger effect is wasted on the walk to the beach, and a slow swim can outlast it. A wetsuit covers the long part; the tea covers the minutes when the cold bites hardest.

It starts from a Pure Warming Tea and three cream. If the cold is going to last an hour, like a long ride across the snow, the milky version is the better spend.
